Cast Memebers Return For Another Fight
Aside from the karate kid himself, you can expect to see Ralph’s on-screen enemy William Zabka, Xolo Maridueña, Peyton List, Tanner Buchanan, Gianni DeCenzo, Mary Mouser, and more.
What To Expect
The karate legends Daniel LaRusso, Johnny Lawrence, and Chozen Toguchi – all from the original film – come together to teach and train the toughest and mightiest kids for the Sekai Taikai tournament. While the drama is happening, antagonist John Kreese – played by Martin Kove – is plotting to take over the event with his Cobra Kai students – in which he is training for the event.
Spoilers
During their preparation for the Sekai Taikai tournament, they realize that only six members can take part in the event which ends up being a situation since the Miyagi-Do team has quite a lot of players. The chosen six came down to Miguel, Sam, Robby, Tory, Demetri, and Devon.
As conflict arises, the Miyagi-Do player Tory decided to remove herself from the team and join Cobra Kai. As per Peyton List who told Today, “After not being captain at Miyagi-Do and having no plans for the foreseeable future, you know, no college, she has to turn to the one person who she knows will be there for her no matter what” hence why she headed back to her once coach – John.
The 26-year-old added, ”for some reason he sees something in Tory, and she feels like it’s her only option, even though it’s not, but in that moment, she can’t see clearly.”
Three-Part Season
The sixth season will consist of 15 episodes, but will be split into three parts. With this drop of five episodes, Cobra Kai fans can expect to see part two in November. Part three will be able to stream on Netflix in 2025.
